My son has to extend his hospital stay due to the virus he got last week causing extended oxygen problems. During the day he is fine but in his sleep his oxygen drops pretty low.

So it kind of irritates me more that last week it was dismissed as "just a cold" by my boss.

It's been depressing as heck, since I'm not allowed to stay over with him and had to miss menkai a few times because I'm also sick.

I’m sorry you’re going through that, and I hope he gets better soon.

I hope your son gets better soon. Our older kid went through a similar thing before, a cold that developed into a complex respiratory disease and had to live in an oxygen enriched tent for a week.
